One problem I have had with mutt and I don't see it fixed in the current issue relates to GPG support. It appears that when I send an encrypted e-mail, mutt does the obvious thing and saves the encrypted e-mail in my sent folder. But that's encrypted /to the receiver/, not to me. Hasn't this bothered enough people for mutt to fix it, so that GPG-encrypted e-mails are encrypted-to-self when copied to Sent?



There are at least three ways to solve your problem:

1. Use fcc_clear=yes to not encrypt the copy in your sent folder

2. Use GPG's encrypt-to in your GPG configuration: https://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual/r1261.html

3. Add --encrypt-to to the GPG commands mutt uses: https://dev.mutt.org/trac/wiki/MuttGuide/UseGPG#TheCodeSourc...


Thank you for (2). (1) is not an option for obvious reasons, but I had been using (3) and it was not working as claimed. I'll try (2).
